Most likely a script could be created by one of our watchdogs such as Mr Deiz to detect and report changes on those pages, if one does not already exist.
But the issue with "?page=programs" is that I believe it only shows current settings and it does not keep track of past changes (this would probably be a good feature request!). So you'd have to catch them in the act. Sure you could build a watchdog but then again they might provide for some sort of counter for that such as not letting the page load (perhaps via .htaccess or firewall settings) when the shave is on.

To be fair to NATS CCBILL doesn't show history for many settings either and I've never received an email when they rebill settings were changed by a sponsor. Also I don't believe MPA3 does this either. I may be wrong on one of these.
